How to Fix Broken Mini Blinds - WAY Easier Than You'd Think!

Simple video tutorial on how to fix broken mini blinds that your dog, cat, or kids (or yourself) may have broken on your window blinds! This is for horizontal slat mini blinds common in most apartments. A lot of blinds have extra slats at the bottom of them as well for easy repairing of broken ones. Doing mini blind repair is actually way less expensive (and greener) than buying a whole new blind!
You can see the full written instruction tutorial on my website here: www.whatsupfag...
If you need to buy another set of blinds, you can get some on Amazon: amzn.to/34bOae7 (affiliate link)

First of all Thank you! Secondly, you have such a sweet daughter. Great job teaching her this. Teach them young on how to repair things. If she could do it as a child anyone can do this. Love The tutorial! Love your sweet daughter for helping ❤

[@Whatsupfagans]

Thank you so much! You are so sweet! I work hard to raise capable kids.

[@KristiBee]

Tha k you for sharing this tip, but also, there are lots of people watching this that have kids that see how kind and patient you are with your child. You can see that she is trying her best and your kindness encouraged her to keep trying. She did a great job, too! This short video shows a lot more than how to fix mini blinds, it shows how love affects our children and causes them to flourish.

This is possibly the nicest comment I have gotten on any of my videos!! Thank you!

I was freaking out about all of my broken blinds, but showing how easy it is plus your calming voice and demeanor helped me relax! Thank you so much!

THANK YOU! With the cost of everything from 2020-2023 inflation new blinds are going to break the budget to replace all the blinds. I came up with some plans to make my own blinds, but the materials and time were not cost effective for standard window coverings (awesome if I were trying to do a custom high end look, but I just need basic for a home with kids and pets). Your tutorial will help immensely to bring a friend's home back to life and functionality.

Much appreciated video. I never knew it could be that easy. I tried taping the broken ends on the sides of our blinds, (damaged by mischievous cats) but it ended up looking ridiculous. Thank you for taking the time and effort to post this video. 😊

This was so helpful! Used it to fix two sets of blinds my dog had torn up. Thank you!

I lost the middle string!

[@jaylanugurlu1948]

Thank you that was the most easiest and clear instructions to change the broken blinds !!! And of course your lovely smile ♥️♥️♥️

[@willjones8925]

I had cordless blinds, so the middle string is under tension and wants to zip away into the upper housing. So I used vise-grips locking jaw pliers to hold the string right above the slat I had to replace, and then when I was done, right below the lower housing so I had loose enough string to re-tie the knot in the plug. Thank you for saving me a trip to the store and for keeping a set of blinds out of the landfill.

Now I read this! I just lost the middle string. Any tips for retrieving utter from where I think it's wrapped up in middle on top?

[@tylerhorton572]

@@serenamarie8026 this just happened to me 😭

[@Whatsupfagans]

Oh no!! I don't have tips for cordless ones. 😬

Looks easy enough. We moved onto an apartment with damaged blinds. Helpful video.

Thank you for your post. Saved my life 😄

[@Whatsupfagans]

Yeah!! So easy too right??

[@melr6890]

@@Whatsupfagans it was surprisingly easy. My husky completely destroyed my blinds when I came home and I’m so happy I could fix it without a hassle😁

[@FarronGeorge]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!

[@michelleradford5956]

Love this 😀 ❤️ 💯💯💯💯💯Great 👍🏾

[@Josalyn62]

Hey gal! Great video! I was thinking that you should start a lil business! Charge😅 $25 to fix people in your apartments mini blinds

[@dobycarter8996]

Great tutorial why would you purchase a brand new mini blind just to fix the old one when you can hang the new one instead? If I misheard you please let me know...

[@Ficed.T]

I thought that too why not just replace the whole piece

[@Komu254]

I wish you really talked about holding the middle string tightly. Now I lost the whole thing!

[@loisstgermain85]

Thank you!

[@serenamarie8026]

Help! I followed the steps and lost the middle string. I gave cordless mini blinds. I took off the entire set of blinds, slats everywhere, and can't figure out how to get that middle string back.

[@wolfpunkbot]

Yeah, I had the same issue. Needle nose pliers barely helped, couldn't get the string to lock and it was under tension the entire time, kept snapping back into place. Cordless blinds are great but not when it comes to home repair.

[@Komu254]

This just happened to me

[@ihaom]

What if the middle string disappeared?

[@bell_shep01]

that is fine

[@90stalgic70]

How do I fix it if there’s no string in the middle

[@victorbreindenbach1479]

Thank you uuuuuuu

[@anastaciaguitargirl]

Thanks so much. My HOA wants to fine me $200 for broken blinds in two windows!

[@neilrazdan1457]

Seven bucks to replace that blind? Wow, where do you buy them? My local Home Depot sells the cheapest ones for like 35 bucks !!

[@jenny220896]

What if you dont have replacements on hand ?

[@Whatsupfagans]

You may need to buy one new one then, save the old use for future slat needs. Check and see if there are extra slats at the bottom of yours though and use those first.

[@BorselinoThadchack]

oh my god you are SOOO gorgeous!

[@leahrutberg5811]

Thank you. Your teeth though, they make me focus in on them.

[@A.P.03]

Sue your apartment complex. They should be the ones replacing these blinds because they are the ones who supplied you with the cheap blinds. They should never charge you for cheap products that break with normal use.
